Abstract: [Purpose/significance] FoMO of adolescent users has become more and more common and serious in mobile social media environment. In order to establish the foundation for building a robust and practical FoMO measurement scale in the future, the paper extracts the key characteristics of FoMO in the mobile social media environment. [Method/process] We obtain the original information with critical incident analysis and in-depth interview of qualitative analysis method and code the interview data with NVivo 11, then extract the key characteristics of FoMO in mobile social media environment. [Result/conclusion] The key features of adolescent user FoMO with 50 nodes in the mobile social media environment are extracted from the 5 dimensions of situation, purpose, behavior, result and psychology.

Abstract: [Purpose/significance] In order to measure the degree of social media FoMO effectively and to provide the preliminary basis for related research, a robust and practical FoMO measurement scale has been designed. [Method/process] Firstly, through in-depth interviews with college students to obtain the original data, the FoMO preliminary scale has been prepared based on the key characteristics of FoMO extracted from the grounded theory encoding. Then, the initial scale has been used to obtain sample data, and optimized to form a formal scale. Finally, the FoMO degree category is determined by cluster analysis and the FoMO degree of specific users is determined based on the measured data. [Result/conclusion] The formal FoMO scale of 30 projects has been developed from four dimensions: situational features, behavioral characteristics, result characteristics and psychological characteristics. A relatively stable category of FoMO level has been formed, and 105 undergraduates have been selected from three universities to measure the degree of FoMO.
